The DECART project is an international cooperation partnership, including France, Iceland, Indonesia, Lithuania, and South Africa. The primary goal is to allow partner’s organisations to increase the quality and relevance of their curriculum activities, to increase their capacity to operate jointly at transnational level, boosting internationalisation of their activities and through exchanging or developing new practices and methods as well as sharing and confronting ideas in curriculum design, with a focus on resilience and transformation.
A time to react with a European 
spoon to spearhead curriculum transformation🙏🏼
« un bon CAFE☕(coffee), du SUCRE🍬(sugar) et du LAIT🥛(milk) »,
3 serious DECART tools in a CAPPUCCINO pedagogical toolbox©️:
CAFE☕: the DECART tool for Creative, Agile & Flexible Education design ;
SUCRE🍬: the DECART Serious game for University Curriculum REsilience;
LAIT🥛: the DECART tool for Leadership, Alignment, Influence & Transformation of curriculums.
Objectives
Share processes to assess & improve design, interoperability &
resilience of curricula, to be ready for curriculum change & transformations in disruptive contexts.
Since November 2025, the DECART project proposes a framework of methods and ☕🍬🥛tools to guide STEM & Management educational leaders in original curriculum design & programme transformations according to unpredictable VUCA contexts.
Activities
In 2024-25, DECART implemented and operated 3 collaborative Intensive Programmes for Higher Education programme leaders from the partnership (in France, Germany & South Africa), conducted quantitative and qualitative analysis, & reflected on original curriculum structures and properties. Numerous onsite and online Multiplier Events were organized to share the methodological results & tools, so as to confront and promote innovative curricula design thinking and transformations, within the partner’s countries (France, Germany, Iceland, Indonesia, Lithuania, and South Africa), as during international conferences (e.g. Finland, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, UK, Tunisia, Tanzania, Thailand, Australia).
Results
DECART delivers, end of 2025, a Brochure, 9 Reports, 3 Curriculum Games with ☕🍬🥛Tools, 11 Videos, 26 Publications, 6 Newsletters, all include shared understanding of curriculum structures in partner countries, VUCA scenarii to assess agility & resilience, as guidelines for curriculum design & transformations.
A common Body of Knowledge is available via the 9 Reports, including change & transformation processes to inspire programme leaders. With ☕CAFE 🍬 SUCRE 🥛 LAIT in a tool chain🧩⚙️🧩, learning materials with guidelines are now freely available (curriculum co-design, crisis serious games, & leadership workshops).
